Young turned in an admirable performance on Sunday in a 30-13 win over the Jaguars. His numbers didn’t break any records like his teammate Chris Johnson’s did, but he played well. Young was mostly on target, made good decisions and took off running when he needed to.

All the while he sent out reminders of his friend, McNair, the Titans quarterback who was killed in July.

If you didn’t notice, Young pounded his chest and pointed to the sky after throwing a touchdown on Sunday – just like McNair used to do.

And on the sideline as he looked at plays, he had his hat turned around backward – just like McNair wore his baseball cap.

Young, in his first start since last September, saved two footballs from Sunday’s win – one from his touchdown pass to receiver Nate Washington, the other the ball he snapped on the final play of the game. Back in the preseason, he gave one of the footballs after a touchdown to McNair’s young sons. I wouldn’t be surprised if one of the balls from Sunday also goes to the McNair kids.
